I'm using the "official" .rpm files at the IMP site, not the CVS ones.
My organization has a Sun machine running Solaris 8.0 with its pop3 version 
2.0.
Our popserver (mailserver) is interfaced with a PC running RedHat 7.2, IMP 
3.0 + Horde 2.0, php and mysql (al the packages I use are those I found in 
the download section of IMP site except for apache that is the updated one 
given by RedHat).
When I log as a user into horde it appears a dark blu screen with a 
"Welcome xxx@yyy" banner. Than there is a line with the string "Mail".
Under these there is a white line with the string:
"INBOX 0"
All the rest of the page is dark blu.
If I select with the mouse the area exactly under the "INBOX" string I can 
see, in reverse, the statement:
"Warning: Mailbox is empty (errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0"
This statement is normally difficult to see because it is in black on dark 
blue background.
Now if I select the "INBOX" string (that is the hyperlink to my INBOX), I 
get an empty white page with on the the bottom that dark blue frame 
containing buttons for IMP, horde, Exit etc...
On the contrary, if I log into IMP directly I have an empty white page 
without any button at the bottom.

When I used the demo page at imp.org to test imp program using the POP 
server of my organization I have the correct INBOX appearance with a white 
line telling me that there are No messages in this mailbox.
It seems however that some days ago in just one case I could reproduce the 
same error, but I have no clear data because I didn't care too much.

If you need I can also write down in a next messages the config files I use.
However there is just minimal a personalization.
